Copper-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidation of Hydroxamic Acids Leading to a Mild and Versatile Acylnitroso Ene Reaction.

The article focuses on the research regarding copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of hydroxamic acids which leads to mild ene reaction conducted by professor Javier Read de Alaniz and his colleagues from the University of California (USCB) in Santa Barbara, California. It says that the researchers sought to uncover mild and chemoselective oxidation protocol which could enable acylnitroso compound generation from hydroxamic acids. The processes of the research were explained by professor Javier.
